While Adderall may have helped Joe Haden when he attended classes at the University of Florida, his use of the banned stimulant and subsequent four-game suspension is taking its toll on the Cleveland Browns defense.

Commissioner Roger Goodell and Haden shared some laughs in 2010 after the Browns announced that Haden would be the seventh overall pick, but nobody's laughing now.

It was evident that the Browns felt Haden's absence on defense last week as they allowed Andy Dalton to tie a career high and throw three touchdowns in the Bengals' 34-27 win.

It doesn't get better as the 0-2 Browns play three more games before their superstar cornerback returns.

This Sunday they have Buffalo at home, then they're at division rival Baltimore, followed by a trip into MetLife Stadium to take on the defending Super Bowl champion New York Giants.

The Browns will be Haden-less when they face Ryan Fitzpatrick, Joe Flacco and Eli Manning.

Let's take a closer look at how Haden's suspension affects the team's defense.

The Browns are clearly playing musical chairs at cornerback since Haden vacated the position.

Cleveland hung their hopes on Dimitri Patterson to step up and fill the void, but against the Bengals he didn't look like a guy who just re-signed for $16 million over three years.

As Branson Wright of The Plain Dealer reported, Patterson didn't sound like the ringing endorsement Browns fans were hoping for in Haden's absence.

Second-year man Buster Skrine made his first NFL start Sunday in Cincinnati, but couldn't stay with any receivers even if he had been glued to them. He was just part of a secondary that allowed Dalton to carve them up for 318 yards.

Wiley veteran Sheldon Brown shot down rumors that he wasn't healthy enough to play last Sunday, he had simply been benched in place of Skrine. Brown is expected to see a significant amount of time against Buffalo this Sunday.

Patterson, Skrine and Brown don't seem to add up to much, and don't reassure fans that they'll be able to lock down receivers until Haden returns.
